Rangers to T.C.
March 17, 2010 - North American Hockey League (NAHL)
Marquette Rangers News Release
Marquette - With two weekends remaining in the North American Hockey League regular season, the North Division crown is still completely up for grabs.
The Marquette Rangers are ties atop the division with Traverse City; and are four points ahead of third place Janesville. Marquette travels to Traverse City for three games this Friday - Sunday, then hosts the North Stars a week from Thursday before Janesville comes calling to Lakeview Arena for the final two games of the regular season next Friday and Saturday.
Needless to say, this is going to be interesting.
The only certainty in the race is that Alpena will not make the playoffs for the first time in their history, while the Rangers will be in the post season for the first time since their inaugural year of 2006 - 07. Everything else is anybody's guess.
Marquette (31-20-1, 63pts.) is looking to get some much needed momentum as they head down the stretch as the team is coming off a two game sweep last weekend at the hands of the Janesville Jets. Centre Ice Arena in Traverse City will be a difficult place for Marquette to get that much needed head of steam having lost all their road games against the North Stars this season.
But not all the news is bad. Marquette swept the North Stars two weeks ago at Lakeview Arena, part of a three game winning weekend where the team also secured a playoff bid with a win against Alpena.
Tanner Kero continues to the lead the team, as well as the entire NAHL in goals with 30 on the season. Garrett Ladd is the teams' point leader on the season with 57 from 19 goals the 38 assists, while teammate Andrew Kolb has 56 points on 21 goals to compliment 35 assists.
All three games will be available on the internet with streaming video and audio from B2 Networks through the teams' website www.marquetterangers.com. Friday and Saturday's games are at 7:30, Sunday afternoon's game begins at 1:30PM.
